Question

Margo practices her flute 1/4 hour each day. Write and solve an equation to find how many hours Margo practices her flute in 1 week. Write and solve an equation to find how may minutes Margo practices her flute in 1 day. Then

use that to find the number of minutes she practices in 1 week.

Answer 1

Margo practices her flute 42 hours a week. She practices 360 minutes per day. 2520 minutes per week

Explanation:

24 hours a day divided by 4 =6 6 x 7 days per week=42 hours. 6 hours x 60 minutes= 320 minutes. 320 minutes per day x 7 days =2520 minutes per week

Answer 2

Part A: Write and solve an equation to find how many hours Margo practices her flute in 1 week.

Let the number of days = x

Margo practices her flute 1/4 hour each day.

Total number of hours =
`(1)/(4)x`

Week = 7 days

So, the number of hours Margo practices her flute in 1 week =
`(1)/(4)*7=(7)/(4)=(4+3)/(4)=1(3)/(4) \ hours`

Part B: Write and solve an equation to find how may minutes Margo practices her flute in 1 day.

Let the number of minutes = y

Total number of minutes =
`(1)/(4) y`

Hour = 60 minutes

Substitute with y = 60

So, the number of minutes Margo practices her flute in 1 day =

`(1)/(4)*60=15` minutes

The number of minutes she practices in 1 week = 15 * 7 = 105 minutes.
